With the announcement of iphone 8, I was a bit skeptical at first whether to go for it. After giving a considerable thought, I decided to five it a try. If you are going to go for it, do give a read on the below: Pros: 1. A significant improvement on the camera: There has been some significant upgrades on the camera end. The pictures are crisp and clear. Not to forget the front cam modes which, though some are in beta, are still a cut above the rest. 2. Louder stereo speakers: This might not be significant to everybody, however, it is worthy to me. I stay alone most of the time and this feature helps me not craving for the headphones when at home. 3. Augmented Reality and iOS 11: The internal software are a top notch. This phone has a lot of potential which we are all yet to explore, but we would eventually. Cons: 1. Same old design: Its been a while since I think the same design is being migrated from the previous older iphone models. Although, they are slimmer, but this is 2017. We already have bezel less displays in many phones. Although, Apple brought it alive with the iphone X, I would've appreciated had they reduced the bezel in this model as well. 2. Lack of 3.5 mm jack: While we may still whine about it, there is no 3.5 mm jack returning to iphone ever. The extra cable makes it look weird when in use with other headphones. Even cheapest Beats model comes with a 3.5 mm connector with no bluetooth. This makes me think apple need to understand their game properly before finalizing any product. 3. Lack of quick charge from in-box: I cannot simply imagine spending another 80 bucks just for getting a quick charge. Although other phones have it included in the bx directly. Overall, the iphone is quite sturdy and with the addition of wireless charging, I am quite satisfied with the product. I personally rely on one cable and multiple Qi charger pads. This makes life easier to an extent. It would be easiest when all companies enable USB Type C in all devices. However, when it comes to this iphone, I'd definitely say, go for it. It is a major worthy upgrade.

Very nice upgrade from an iPhone 6s

My iPhone 6s finally decided that it no longer wanted to charge up. I had been having issues for a while, but finally, it refused to charge when plugged in. I have had Android phones in the past, I prefer Apple's products at this point. I visited the BestBuy story in Fort Collins, CO to get a hands-on experience when I first started having issues with my 6s. I read through reviews on line, including the ones on the BestBuy website.
I was unsure of the size change between the 6s and the 8+, but after owning it for several weeks, I am happy with the purchase. At 56, the extra screen real-estate makes enlarging the fonts more practical so that I can read messages at a glance without putting my reading glasses on. The biggest improvement is in battery life. This phone goes all day for my usage and still has ~70% battery left when I drop it on the charger. Speaking of chargers, I picked up an inductive charger in hopes of preserving the lightning port for as long as possible. I drop it on the charger at night and pick it up in the morning fully changed. At least I can be sure that the problem I had with charging the 6s will not happen with this phone. I was also hesitant about losing the headphone jack. I already used BT headphones for the gym. The included lightning to headphone adaptor covers my other headphones I use while flying. The extended battery life means that I don't need to be charging the phone on a 4 hour flight while listening to music and playing solitaire. I really have not had a chance to take the camera for a spin, but my oldest son has the 8+ and has posted some fantastic portrait shots. I like the fingerprint ID and I really don't want or need the face id bit that the iPhone X has.

Great phone

I recently upgraded to the 8 Plus from an iPhone 7 model. I decided not to wait for the X(10) model for several reasons. I really enjoy TouchID. I did not want to have to look directly at my phone every time I wanted to unlock the device or make a purchase. Furthermore, although the X's screen is slightly larger with a smaller form factor, the screen is not as wide and is obscured by the sensors. With that said, I prefer the wider screen on the 8 Plus, bezels and all.
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are also incredibly fast. When comparing the 8 with Samsung's Note 8 in Geekbench, the iPhone's A11 chip wins by a long shot. The camera has several noticeable upgrades from the previous generation (7); specifically with image quality, low light performance, and zoom. The 8 additionally supports slo-motion in 1080p, opposed to 720p on the 7. Wireless charging is not a big deal for me, however, is nice to have and I have found the battery life to be excellent. No, this phone is not an exciting change in relation to its design, but it's a good design and might be something you may want to consider.

This review is from Apple - iPhone 8 Plus 64GB - Silver

I like the glass back and the new wireless charging technologies. Phone works well. My only complaint about purchasing this from Best Buy was that when I bought it, I thought I was buying an unlocked device. I was not made aware though, that once I insert a SIM Card into the device, it would lock to the carrier of that SIM Card even though I had paid for it in full. Best Buy really needs to be clear about this when selling to customers. It caused a major ordeal for me when I was helping a client buy an iPhone. To avoid this, as it turns out, you can insert a Verizon SIM into the phone from the beginning and once it activates temporarily on the Verizon SIM, it will permanently unlock the device. Verizon is required by law for all their devices to be unlocked, so if you do that first, it will permanently unlock the phone. Best Buy does not sell truly unlocked phones, they sell phones ready to lock on the carrier they are activated on, so be sure and put in a Verizon SIM first if there is any chance you may need to change carriers before you have met the terms of your carrier unlock policy.

This review is from Apple - iPhone 8 Plus 64GB - Space Gray

This is a Christms gift so it has not yet been opened, but I purchased this same phone from Best Buy last Christmas for my daughter and she loves it as much today as she did last year!! So much so, that she didnt even consider buying the new Iphone X! (thank god lol). So I have NO doubt my teenage son will love it just as much, especially since he has the iphone 6...a big upgrade! Seriously cannot WAIT for him to open it!!! A must buy phone, extremely durable as well. My 25 yr old daughter drops her phone i swear multiple times a day onto pavement, at work on concrete floors, you name it! And it still looks as good as it did brand new! And that is with a very thin case! I say if you are looking for a great phone, buy this one for sure! I dont like iphones personally..probably cuz im old and i dont understand the interface that well hahaha. Ill stick with my Note 9! But if you are an iphone lover, or your child is..dont hesitate!! :-)

An excellent upgrade from the iPhone 6s Plus

This new iPhone is an upgrade from an iPhone 6s Plus. They both have the exact same size and dimensions, but you need to keep in mind that there is no earphone plug and the camera is off-center, therefore, you will definitely want to consider a different case if you are also coming from another 6S plus. Nonetheless, this particular model is pretty much the same physically but electronically, it is completely a vast upgrade from the 6s Plus series. It is definitely a notable improvement in performance, display resolution, and over all compatibility with speed. We find that upgrading our iPhones every other generation actually provides a very large amount of features that are not always present from one generation to the next. By going with every other upgrade series, you are sure to get the most value and/or cost benefit with such a sizable purchase. These things are not cheap. Extremely happy.
As a last note, if you have more than one phone on your carrier’s account, it is usually in your best interest to try to upgrade at or around the same time to keep your bills in cycle from multiple phones on the same plan.

RED IPHONE 8 PLUS

My first time in a long time having an IPhone. I upgraded from a galaxy to the Iphone 8 plus. It only gets 4 stars cause they need to make a Iphone that isn't too small like the regular I phone and not to big like the plus. the X Is buggy and isn't worth the extra cash it is the perfect size but as I said its buggy. Maybe when Apple gets the kinks out of the X it should be great but don't forget if it isn't broke don't fix it! that's why I Decided to upgrade to the iphone plus 8 before the next Iphone comes out and is a copy of the X. Anyway about the iphone 8 plus. Siri is a serious plus she has been redefined and is almost perfect! the phone holds a charge better than any phone I have had recently. stereo speakers are a plus. making voice calls and listening to music sound awesome! 4 stars cause I have yet to find the perfect phone.

This review is from Apple - iPhone 8 Plus 64GB - Gold

If you aren’t an iPhone user and are considering this phone, I won’t spoil it! Iphone 8 plus You will love every part of owning the iPhone, from setting it up and personalizing, to every day photography, music, organizing, exercise, games, group chat, iMessage with family out-of-country, etc!!! Absolutely the best iPhone yet! Love it!!! Cons: Absolutely can not stand the tiny charging cable it comes with. It doesn’t even reach from the outlet to the top of the table...You cannot use anything except factory cable if you do not want to pretty much void warranty if something happens. (Get Apple care and you can use whatever you please!) if you have a laptop with a USB port, just charge it there and make it a habit. You can charge it and back up your phone at the same time, and the cable length won’t be such a huge issue.

Editors are less positive about connectivity and have mixed opinions about price. Using an algorithm based on product age, reviewers ratings history, popularity, product category expertise and other factors, this product gets an alaTest Expert Rating of 91/100 = Excellent quality.

It's just as fast as the iPhone X, has a longer battery life, and, well, it still has the home button. The iPhone 8 Plus is still a great pick for anyone not ready for Face ID, but expect an update in the next few months.Full Review

Best answer: Don't know of any phone that is only $100.00. The full retail price is not set by Best Buy, but by Apple. If you buy a used phone, that might be different, depending on where you purchase.

Best answer: If you have a phone to trade in, or if you make a down payment, your monthly price will be different.. for instance, I traded in an iPhone 6s Plus for an iPhone 8s Plus, my payment is $18 a month. Hope that helps.
